NP (?) James Clerk Maxwell

[Tore Rye Andersen]

Physicsweb has this interesting article about James Clerk Maxwell:

http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/19/12/2/1

Among the many interesting bits from the article is the claim that "Had he 
not died so young, Maxwell would almost certainly have developed special 
relativity a decade or more before Einstein."
And what about this fact, perhaps of relevance to all you AtD readers out 
there: "Maxwell had a life-long interest in optics and colour vision" a-and 
he produced "the first ever colour photograph" (a photo of a tartan ribbon, 
reproduced in the article).
